LIVEWIRES and Screaming demon coil???

[stunner6910]

I bought the ignition kit from performancedistributors.com and they told me to gap my plugs at .060. Is this smart? I know the stock goes at .054 but since i got a hotter coil, is .060 alright or not?

thanx

Plug gap, IMO, doesn't make a damn bit of difference when you are talking a few thousandths difference in NA applications.

NASCAR doesn't gap their plugs.

Your thinking is correct though, and you could get away with it (0.060" gap) as long as you have a quality set of wires and plugs.

I just gapped mine like they said and it's worked fine.

me too, gapped mine at 60 with their coil, module, cap, and wires and no problems, runs well

the theory is that it takes a stronger spark to jump the gap. the stronger the spark, the better the fuel is burned. the better the fuel burns, the more power.

i had them on my last car, a 1996 GT. i never noticed any difference at all, which is why i am now of the opinion that it is not worth it unless you are pushing some serious air through the engine.

ok so .060 it is, i just didn't want to have any problems and have to go back and regap all of the plugs again
thanx
